Guest dancingforever Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 hi! i've been doing ballet for 2 years, and i started dancing tap, jazz and musical theatre 6-10 years ago. recently, i've noticed that my hips are really tight and when i try to turn out, i can't without popping my hips. they make a crunchy sound when i swing them back and forth to warm them up and even after that, i have to pop them to turn out properly. why is this, and how can i fix it? thanks!

Mel Johnson Posted October 15, 2003 Report Share Posted October 15, 2003 Don't swing them back and forth before you're thoroughly warmed up, to reduce the possibility of injury. If you're finding a restriction of movement, or pain, then you may have a problem and may need to consult with a physician to ascertain what's going on. Before you do that, ask your teacher if s/he sees anything going on wrong. The problem may be solvable in the classroom. Quote Link to comment
